The kind of mindset (via Drudge) I never want to see from anyone even remotely tied to our nation’s military:

“Imagine Tea Party extremists seizing control of a South Carolina town and the Army being sent in to crush the rebellion. This farcical vision is now part of the discussion in professional military circles.”

Yeah, it’s just a retired Colonel and some no-good civilian “Civil War expert,” but the article was published in what was termed a “respected” military journal.

Also, there was a stir twenty years ago about a military coup article, but at least it contained a disclaimer that the scenario was “purely a literary device intended to dramatize my concern over certain contemporary developments affecting the armed forces, and is emphatically not a prediction.”

No disclaimer this time.

People who like to play expert with respect to things about which they really have no expertise nor understanding whatsoever . . . well. Hopefully their foolish words are meaningless.

I, for one, know no military members willing to engage in this type of operation.

“At 6:30 we already had our first lady in line,” said Jane Neill, chief inspector at the Waukesha West High School polling location. “And we had a line before we opened at 7.”

Within the first hour of the polls opening at West, 306 voters had already cast ballots, which is 10 percent turnout for that location.

Neill said the line to vote stretched to the street very early in the morning, which signaled a massive turnout. She said the line wasn’t even as long that early for the 2008 presidential election.

What does it mean? Considering that half of teachers, when given the chance to opt out of automatic Union dues withholding, chose to do so. That, combined with the improving economic conditions in Wisconsin, are very encouraging signs.

I’m adding another fellow to my hero list. You may have run into this video, in which a Wall Street Occupier explains how great things are in North Korea. I thought it had gone more viral, but it’s only at 38-thousand-and-change as of today.

Thanks to Judge Napolitano, we learn that the videographer is Vladimir Jaffe: Russian-born American, small businessman, and Tea Partier. The combination of a Russian accent with the swift exposure of his subjects’ ignorance gives Jaffe’s videos an amusing Borat vibe.

Mr. Jaffe has been steadily uploading new clips for several months, and I have enjoyed following him on his journey to educate the lost leftists of New York City. Some clips are on the long side, so I’ve culled and annotated a few of my favorites for your expedited viewing pleasure.

Skip right to 2:00 in the next video. Two young leftists inform Mr. Jaffe that Cuba has the highest standard of living for all the nations in the Caribbean. “That I’ve heard,” the young lady adds as a bit of an escape clause.

Then, at 3:00, the young lady declares with a straight face that a doctor should not necessarily be paid more than a street sweeper if that doctor’s education was free (I have to assume she means free to him–somebody has to pay for that education). A person’s hard work, time, dedication, brains and talent mean nothing, apparently.

At about 9:20, the young lady says well, I don’t defend the system that existed in the USSR, so Jaffe asks, then why is the hammer and sickle on this table then?

On to the next clip. Start about :50, when an old commie guy defends Trotsky. Then at 2:05 he claims that Lenin’s revolution was bloodless. (Note to all you Occupiers out there: don’t try to school a Russian on Russian history, it makes you look really dumb.)

He tries to blame first Stalin, and then the isolation of Russia for the failings of that particular glorious revolution. Then, at 4:25 he is forced to fold: “Alright, well, you are welcome to read through the books that we have . . . .” Just leave me alone, you horrible man with your facts and your logic.

Mr. Jaffe presses: “You are promoting all of this. It’s my country you want to change.” At 5:34, he asks Old Commie Guy for an example of a successful socialist country.

Cuba.

Old Commie admits that he couldn’t set up a table and promote capitalism if he were in Cuba. Yet, he refuses to back down. Having revealed his totalitarian core, he walks away. What more is there to say?

A pattern emerges in these video clips: through language or imagery the subjects associate themselves with the likes of Stalin, Lenin, Che, Castro, until they are called out by an actual victim of one such regime. Then, they distance themselves. They claim that “wasn’t really communism/socialism.” They insist that they are in the vanguard of a new system.

I have to applaud Mr. Jaffe for his patience. Unlike Borat, he never descends into simple mockery. He is actually reaching out to these maddeningly misinformed malcontents. The folks above remain unmoved, undeterred. In other clips, however, he may actually be making a lasting impression. Watch as this poor fellow runs out of talking points. Skip to 4:00 for the best part:

The awkwardness is palpable as the interviewed fellow admits “he doesn’t know which companies we invest in.” Mr. Jaffe points out, well, since you are sitting at this table as a representative, I assume you are familiar. He presses the young man on the question of what is so wrong with coal, and the man folds completely. He lamely refers Mr. Jaffe to the “research department” in a brochure and gives up on the conversation.

The next video clip is the longest, because the subject interviewed is actually willing to listen. Skip to 7:50, where the young man makes an outlandish claim about Israel. Mr. Jaffe then leads him by the proverbial hand down a path of logic and history. Watching his discomfort as he tries to wiggle off this path is both comical and gratifying. Because he can’t. He can’t escape the logic.

“I think there’s a lot of sh** behind that, that we have no idea about,” he mutters lamely at 12:09, but Mr. Jaffe rolls his eyes. “Why are you rolling your eyes at me?” he says reproachfully. Look, Mr. Jaffe says, these are simple facts. If you don’t believe the facts, then I don’t know what to else to say.

The last clip is short and sweet. A representative of the Freedom Socialist Party dives into a helpful explanation of socialism, until Mr. Jaffe asks her whether Che was a socialist.

Immediately uncomfortable, she refuses to answer. At 1:50 he asks, how are you going to make socialism different now? “Russia and the movements in the past also lacked international support,” she offers. Jaffe runs through a long list of countries with which Russia had relations, both the friendly and the forced, and asked her to help him understand why socialism didn’t work in those places, but will work here.

“I’m sorry, are you filming this? I would prefer that you didn’t.”

Yep.

Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed these videos. Aside from the amusement factor, they serve as an important lesson for me: go ahead. Call them out. It feels like a waste of time, but it isn’t.

What would happen if we all got out and pressed the loudest propagators of Leftist Lunacy? As Mr. Jaffe demonstrates, they quickly run out of words. If leftists were confronted by an Army of Jaffes and Breitbarts and other assorted Davids every time they stood up to bleat something stupid, how many of them would finally, and at long last, shut up?

On March 27th in Washington D.C.the AFP Rally against Obamacare was visited by a very foul-mouthed proponent of the President. As vile as he was, he was very non-threatening as one lady after another got in his grill to defend liberty!

Meet Jim, former Republican, but now a big Obama supporter according to an email I just received. Click on the image to enlarge.

Yes, Jim left the Republicans because of the extremist Tea Party element which embraces limited, Constitutional government accountable to the people.

HOW CRAZY IS THAT?

The Republican Party has at least paid lip service to that notion, even when they’ve fallen short from time to time.

Maybe crazy old Jim paid his $3 to have his Joe the Plumber moment, a chance to speak directly to the president to complain about the godawful job he’s doing. Now THAT would be a savory You Tube video.

Or Jim is a liar that was never a Republican at all.

You make the call.

This spring, Citizens United will be releasing a new movie called ‘Occupy Unmasked’, which will blow the lid off of Barack Obama’s Goon Squad, which he unleashed against CPAC over the last two days. Working with Andrew Breitbart, Steve Bannon, and two reformed leftists, Brandon Darby and Lee Stranahan, the very heart of the Occupy/ACORN movement and it’s direct ties to this thug president will be exposed to the nation.

They are describing the feel of this project as a War Movie and after witnessing what happened at CPAC I think they’re spot on.

Watch the trailer and discussion.

Part One

Part Two

These are very dangerous and evil people. They disrupted CPAC several times like good little totalitarians, unsuccessfully trying to stifle our 1st amendment rights.

The campaign to re-elect this president will be one of the most violent, if not the most violent, in American history. Know your enemy.

P.S. I will sift through the rest of my videos to find and put up how the ACORN/Occupy movement is organized into teams as described by Brandon Darby. The anarchist left has been organizing for decades, which sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s true. We conservatives are woefully unprepared and somewhat ignorant about what is headed our way. Obama and his anarchist, leftist buddies are a threat to the Republic.

We have all heard the main stream media’s reports that the Tea Party movement is losing steam and fading away. I guess no one has told the Virginia Tea Party Alliance. Unlike most of the country, Virginia has a big election this year with every one of the 140 seats of the General Assembly on the ballot. The House of Delegates currently has a Republican majority but the in Senate the Democrats have a slim 22 -18 majority and with a three seat pick up the Republicans can flip the Senate. The Virginia Tea Party Alliance has formed a PAC and they have produced this ad to continue what they started in 2009 with the election of Governor McDonnell and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
